Repsol Chain Lube is of the "waxy" type,
a thick liquid that turns into a sort of wax or hard
grease after it dries. The tiny 99 gram (3.49 oz.)
can has a sprayer with a built-in nozzle, but the nozzle
is very short at exactly 10 mm, and this, more than
anything, prevents this chain lube from becoming a
favorite in the "waxy" class.
The problem with the short tube is that it's hard to direct
the spray on to the chain because it can be difficult to hold the can close
enough to the chain on some (most) bikes.
But if you can orient the nozzle correctly, Repsol Moto
Chain Lube works rather well -- the product can be directed on to the chain
with a minimum amount of overspray for this type of lube, and it seems to
quickly cover the chain and after it dries, the chain has a nice coating
of...something that we assume does the job!
As with most of the "waxy" types of chain lubes, it's
probably better to apply the Repsol product when the chain is warm so the
lube can hopefully work its way down into the chain and between the side
plates.
Repsol Chain Lube is relatively expensive at $0.35 per gram,
and the tiny can means that the contents disappear quickly, so better buy
two.
